What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, nose, often
causing blindness or Deafness which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
it is the most general of all diseases affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequaled, and some of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial.

TreatmentFor Dandruff.

A correspondent inquiries about the
treatment for dandruff. There are two
principal forms of the affection, and they
require quite different treatment. From
the description given we should judge
the disease to be what the doctors call
pityriasis, as the face is also dry and
scaly. The treatment in this case is to
wash the head well two or three times a
week with solution of borax and am
monia water in water. When the skin
seems dry, tense and glistening, it is best
to discontinue the wash. Then an oint-
ment consisting of equal parts of zinc
ointment may be applied, a very little at
time, once day, to the scalp and skin.
This will usually effect cure, though it
may be necessary to continue the use OF
some simple lubricant for time after the
disease has ceased-mutton tallow is
better for this purpose than the vaseline.
Three drops OF Fowler's solution after
each meal, in little water, will hasten
the result, but care must be taken in
using this drug, as it is poison contain
ing arsenic, and we hesitate to recon-
mend its use for this reason. With the
other form of dandruff different course
must be pursued. d.-Alany Press.

The Drought of 1913.

From the unpublished letters OF Jetter-
son, appearing in the Southern Bioouae,
the following description of the drought
of 1918 is taken:
"From the fork of James River and the
falls of other rivers upward and west
wardly, we have had the most calamitous
year ever seen since 1855. 1t began with
the blockade, so that the fine crops of
the last year made in these upper parts,
which could not be at market till after
Christmas, were shut up by that and lost
their sale. After keeping my Hour till
the approach of the new harvest, l was
obliged to sell it, lest it it would spoil on
nv hands, at a price which netted me
only forty y-seven cents bushel for my
wheat, OF course total sacrifice. In the
wear 1855 it never rained from April to
November. There was not bread enough
to eat, and many died of famine. This
year in these upper regions we have had
not single rain from April 14th to Sep
tembsr 20th, five months, except slight
shower in MAY. The wheat was killed
by the drought as dead as the leaves of
the trees now are. The stems fell before
the scythe without being cut, and the
little grain in the head shattered on the
ground. From 500 acres sowed here I
have not got in 800 bushels, not three
times the seed. Our corn has suffered
equally. From 27O acres planted, and
which in common years would have
Welded from 800 to 1000 barrels, shall
not pet barrel an acre, and great por-
tion of that will be what are called nub-
ins, being half-formed ears with little
Grain on them. Corn consequently starts
" With us at three and third dollars, and
being the principal food of our laborers,
its purchase will be heavy tax. I am
told the drought has been equally fatal
as far as Kentucky. There have been a
few local exceptions here from small bits
of clouds accidentally passing over some
farm. Should the little wheat we have
made be shut up by continuance of tho
blockade through the winter, we shall be
absolutely bankrupt by the loss of two
successive crops.

A Cure for Collie.

A doctor says in the Albany Press: 1t
isn't every household which holds baby
that knows how to treat it when it has
the collie. Don't resort to an opiate, par
egoric, soothing syrup, or anything con-
tanning opium, which, though temporari-
ly relieving the pain, binds the bowels.
Make the feet warm by hot cloths, by
bags or bottles of hot water, or holding
them near the fire. Apply warmth to
the abdomen by gentle rubbing with the
essence ii. e. the tincture) of ginger, by
hot spice bags, by small, light plate or
tin heated in the oven and wrapped in
flannel. Sometimes sitz-bath in water
as hot as can be borne is of value. In
ternally may be given every fifteen or
thirty minutes, if necessary (all medicines
are to be discontinued in every ailment
as soon as can be), IA to 1-2 teaspoonful
of one of the following mixtures, in as
hot water as can be borne:
No. 1.-Strong catnip tea, 2 tablespoonfuls;
Tincture of asafetida, 10 drops;
Sugar-sylup, tablespoonfuls;
Tincture Of ginger, 10 drops.
No. 2-Arona&ic spirits of ammonia, Is
drops;
Essence Of peppermint, 10 drops;
Glycerine, 1 desertspoonful;
Aniseed- water, tablespoonful.

That Garden Long Ago.
remember, remember
A garden, long ago;
IT'S not laid out in modern style,
In curious bed and row,
And only sweet, old~fashioned fowers
Grow freely, gaily there,
And make mass OF glorious bloom
And perfume oil the air.
Along the narrow gravel path
The violet Iris grows,
And on each side a SNOWFALL bush
And royal Damask Rose;
While Hollyhocks and Four O'Clocks
And Pinks and Poppies glow
In every nook and corner
OF that garden long ago.

The branching Lilac tree,
Its fragrant purple blossoms
So oft in dreams I see!
Once more stand in wonder
To see the Primrose blow.
All, these are only mem'ries
Ofthat garden long ago.

Relation Of the Soil to Water.

Soils often retain for long time more
water than is good for crops, and when
this dries away they will be found to be
in many cases the driest of all soils, ex-
cept, perhaps, blowing sands, which can
hardly be called soils. Other soils are
perpetually water-soaked, while Others
are wet in the spring and in wet seasons,
but though cold and late, are neverthe-
less tillable in favorable years. All
such soils need to have the water arti-
fcially removed. The water may come
solely FROM she rains it may come from
rain and water flowing from higher
ground, or it may come up in springs
from beneath the land itself. If it comes
from other ground, the source should be
cut off by bitches and the water con-
Quoted away. If it comes from springs,
they should be found and the water from
them conducted away, either in open
bitches or in deep-laid covered ones,
which are better, because the surface of
the field NAV then be left smooth. Such
land will usually be found to be soft upon
the top, covered with growth of sedge
and other coarse plants, and lacking a
good outlet for the water. Besides, just
below the surface there is often found d
stratum of sand and clay almost impervi-
Gus to water, which compels all the water
to flow off over the surface, or remain
where it is. To reclaim such land, the
first thing is to find q favorable out
flow for the water. This should not be
less than four or five feet below the gen.
eral surface of the field, but we often have
to accept such an outlet as we can get

Ten Leaves for Burns.

A subscriber says: "Iwould like all
readers of the Household to prove the use
fulness of tea lives applied to burns, not
only on account of their soothing proper
ties, but on account of their being so
readily obtained" She states that it has
been tried repeatedly in her family, and
most successfully. A poultice is made OF
tea leaves by softening them with warm
water and applying while yet warm upon
cotton wool over the entire burned sur
face. The suffering of the patient is re-
lieved almost like magic, and he falls
into quiet sleep. The application Is
made again in the course of few hours
if necessary. The leaves discolor the
skin somewhat, but relieve the acute SEN
sitiveness. Detroit TriJune.

Sowing Heavy Seed.

For all kinds of grain the heaviest
seed that can be obtained will produce
the best results. In fact, with spring
grain, oats or barley, sowing plump,
large seed is necessity, to prevent it
from running out in our hot, dry climate.
In many localities seed oats have to be
renewed every few years by importations
from Europe, our native kinds deterior-
ating so rapidly. This depreciation of
quality and yield may be prevented by
thorough grading Of seed, rejecting all
except the largest and heaviest. Not so
much of this graded grain will be re-
quired to seed an acre, for the reason
that every kernel will produce strong
plant, while with ungraded seed much
will not grow, or if it does, will only be
in the way of that which should make
the crop. If in any event we set our
produce from one-half, and often from
less, of the seed sown, what object can
there be in literally throwing away the
remainder7 The light grain thrown out
in grading seed is worth more as feed
than for anything else. CultirQtor.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Preparing Trees for Planting.

Professor Maynard advises that trees
be prepared for planting by cutting the
top back in proportion to the amount of
injury done to the roots, which is gen.
orally from one-half to two-thirds of the
entire crop. On this pruning all shoots
should be entirely cut away that are not
needed for the formation of q perfect
head, and the others cut back one-half
to two-thirds of their length.
If the head is not formed high enough
upon the trunk it may often be carried
higher by cutting off all lateral shoots,
leaving the most central one for leader
upon which will be formed the new head
several inches higher than the first. All
injured roots should have the ends cut
smooth with a sharp knife, and with
small fruits, like the grape, currant and
strawberry, it is often desirable to cut
back some of the larger ones.

Be Liberal With the Poultry.

A moderate-sized flock of chickens on
any farm pays great per cent. of profit,
and gives very quick returns. Those men
who have hindered instead of encouraged
this business should pursue different
course. They need not take an interest in
the more fancy breeds, but all encourage
ment should be given to raising the busi-
ness-purpose fowl. Good fowls, consistent
quarters and care are just as important, in
their way, as is any part of the farm bust
ness. Coops for young broods should be
provided in spring, just as surely as
should the corn be planted, or the pas
ture fence repaired. New blood should
be infused every year or two by buying
settings of eggs or cocks just as certainly
rs new seed potatoes or new seed corn
should be introduced occasionally. The
women and children usually make the
poultry profitable, if encouraged instead
Of hindered. On too many farms the
poultry business is in the old way, because
the man of the house will not favor any
outlay for papers or books on poultry
raising, or money with which to purchase
lumber for new poultry buildings and
coops. This stinginess and lack of ap-
probation of business the wife should
have opportunity to develop, keeps the
enterprise cramped.

Growing Roots for Stock Feeding.

Growing Roots for Stock Feeding.
Why farmers do not grow roots more
extensively for stock feeding is mys-
terious question, which can only be par
TALLY solved on the general theory that
most of the brotherhood discourage inno-
vations on former practices. In Great
Britain and in other parts of Europe,
turnips are abundantly cultivated, and
proven to be most profitable for winter
use. Beets, rutabagas, and other roots,
are extensively cultivated, and that with
as much system and regularity as Indian
corn is in this country. And yet it is
admitted universally that the lack of
green food in winter is costing farmers
an enormous aggregate of money. Most
kinds of stock are here obliged to cat too
much dry food, and sickness is caused
thereby. All know that feeding green
food in winter to dairy COWS is highly,
desirable. Ensilage may be good sub"
stitute for roots, but comparatively few
are realizing that fact. Pumpkins cut
finely with a spade, and sprinkled with
corn or Indian meal, used to be more re-
sorted to than at present. Cows are
generally expected to fill the pail more
literally than they do, but they are not
fed accordingly. This is the time of
year for farmers to be thinking of and
planting root crops-Csneianai CONNER
